I have a Golf GTI PP 7.5 and a BYD Dolphin. I bought the BYD as a cheap lease car in December due to the free electric chargers at work, I wasn't expecting much from it, but I have been so impressed with it. Yes, the GTI is more fun, but they are different types of cars. The build quality of the BYD is solid like how VW used to be and the doors feel heavy. The battery is amazing and the main reason I picked a BYD, unlike other EVs, it's not an issue to keep charging to 100% and I always get 220+ miles from a full charge. I've had VWs for the past 20 years but this 7.5 will be my last, unless they go back to their previous build quality. Things are going to change soon, the quality coming from China is a step above. German automakers have been cutting corners for too long in terms of quality.
